Hi Guys,

I need to replace the rear shackle bushes in my LN106 Hilux Ute. I have the bushes and want to change them over this weekend but just want to make sure the proces is as simple as i thought

I dont want to disconnect the rear of the leaf spring from the shackle and not be able to get it back up there to put the pin through. Is it relatively easy to just push the springs back up into position by hand?

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

Sean

jack the rear of the truck up with jack under the diff, then put axle stands under the chassis just in front of the rear springs, use the jack to move rear diff up and down as needed. You may find it easier if you take the rear wheels off.

thanks smurf will give it a crack over the weekend sounds pretty straight forward like that
